In sorrow the passing of Barry Epstein, exceptional PR talent.

Barry Epstein was a dear friend, amazing talent and mentor. He inspired me in so many ways including the reason why the South Florida Public Relations Network exists. He brought me in as a member of the Gold Coast PR Council and our shared vision of the "new" on line social media technology was innovative at the start. He was a cheerleader of so much networking among professionals.

We had many FUN times. I will always cherish them. Especially at FAU socials held by Coach Howard Schnellenberger. And, Joanne – you were a saint to tolerate and be a wonderful life partner to this great man. Ah – Those were the days my friend. We thought they’d never end!
